Bottle, at The Kingdom of Denmark. A hazy golden-orange colored beer with an off-white head. Citrus-driven aroma with pine cone notes and a solid maltyness. Grapefruit and orange notes. It's full-bodied and nicely carbonated, not really warming, even though there's a faint alcohol touch in the flavor. It feels more bitter in the finish than initially, where the fruity flavors from the hops run the show. Grapefruit, some pine cones, orange and peach. A solid malty backdrop makes sure there's some kind of balance. A nice one indeed. 280203

330ml bottle from El Irlandés Pours a deep hazy orange color with a big white head that diminishes slowly. A strong, intense and slightly rough hoppy aroma starts to emerge. Notes of orange, candy sugar, tangerines, tangelos, sweet citrus with pine-needles and minty touches. Quite American like with its huge boldness. Taste is sweet, strong, a bit unbalanced but intensity is the trend here. The alpha acids enter the picture slashing left and right, but never quite reach the sweet citrusy intensity. Big body, this one is definitely a heavy hitter. Interesting but not something I would drink frequently.
